As the use of information technology (IT) in healthcare management continues to increase, the need for practical knowledge has grown significantly. Daniel F. Cowan illustrates in Informatics for the Clinical Laboratory: A Practical Guide that information management plays an essential part in the practices of clinical pathologists, laboratory scientists, and laboratory technicians. In response to the need for information management techniques geared toward laboratory medicine, this book covers all aspects of information and resource management. Informatics for the Clinical Laboratory: A Practical Guide is designed to enhance all aspects of laboratory science and pathology by providing clinicians with up-to-date information on the wide variety of topics they will confront in their practices. Given the rapid and widespread technological advances of recent years, no single aspect of health care has become as daunting as informatics, with practitioners facing a high volume and broad range of information. With its practical and reader-friendly approach, this book aims to guide the clinician in accessing, managing, and implementing this information. As successful IT implementation and proper usage continue to be integral components in running a laboratory, Informatics for the Clinical Laboratory: A Practical Guide is an essential resource for clinical pathologists, laboratory scientists, and laboratory technicians in understanding technology and remaining on the cutting edge in today's progressive and ever-changing world of health care.
